Hello Fellow Flaunters!
Christmas is coming, and fast!!!!!
There are only 41 days to Santa’s arrival. Are you ready?, you have probably thought of gifts for everyone else but forgotten yourself!
Luckily we offer a Christmas Wish List and Gift Voucher Services at the shop. Call us or pop into the shop to complete your wish list and then direct your loved ones to us so that you have a chance of getting what you really want.
Not wanting to make anyone jealous, but we had a great time at camp! 44 hours of freedom to scrap, chat, eat, be silly and bond. We would like to thank all our Fabulous Flaunters who joined us. Congratulations to Janea for winning the Camp Challenge by producing a stunning layout (some of the layouts are on display in the shop) and to Angela for winning “Best Name Tag”. We also had an amazing raffle that we held. There were 4 prizes with a regular Flaunter taking first prize of a Making Memories Suede Tote packed full of goodies. Before the weekend had even finished we had people wanting to put their names down for the next camp! To check out photos of the weekend just go to
http://www.scrapitflaunt.blogspot.com/, more are being uploaded as they come in from our wonderful Flaunter Ladies.
Last fortnights newsletter generated some feedback in regards to the article where we explored why we scrapbook. There were many comments in relation to people feeling overwhelmed by others abilities, people who felt their pages were inferior to those of people they scrapped with or knew. It is hard not to admire other people and wish you could create masterpieces like them. The worse thing is, people who do not think they have a flair for scrapbooking, actually do,....they just lack self confidence…….you know who you are! Are you one of the people who can see the mistakes even when others tell you it looks great? It is important to remember that your work will be seen and cherished by your family and your closest friends. They won’t be looking at your page thinking that you forgot the triangle rule or you used even numbers instead of odd. Your family will be thinking about how you cared enough to take the time to capture the memories for them.
Someone told me recently that the ‘why’ of scrapbooking can & has been forgotten and people need to simplify. Get back to basics. The picture, the story, the rest should come easily. Don’t forget the story!

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Attack life, it's going to kill you anyway. -- Steven Coallier
Check out these sites!
http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/http://www.scrapitflauntit.blogspot.com/For a good cause
A couple of weeks something happened to one of our regulars, who has also become a dear friend (Bianca), something that nobody would ever wish for – her house was destroyed in a fire. Bianca has asked us to pass on her thanks for your generosity. Through raffles, Scrap N Yap fees and donations we managed to raise over $400.
Thankfully Bianca and Jason were insured.
Most of us don’t really realise that if we tried to replace everything we own, we would probably be underinsured. Remember it’s not just the big things like tv’s and furniture you have to replace, it’s the little things like knickers, hair ties, that ugly gravy boat Aunt Maud gave you! So please check that your smoke detectors are in working order and insurance valuations are realistic.
We are so thankful that Bianca and her family are all safe and sound.
Also as many of you will be aware we have a number of little things on the go here at the shop to raise funds for Teen Spirit and the Angelman Syndrome Association, one of those things is our old magazine corner. Here you can go through old scrapbooking and paper crafting magazines and purchase them for a gold coin donation.
